Hi guys, did any of you guys get all the shots/immunization/blood tests done? If so how much did you spend? My physician told me it would be around $375, did anybody get it all done at a much lower cost?

Before I started volunteering two years ago, I paid ~ 300 to have bloodwork, mantoux test, Hepatis A and B profiles, a tetanus booster shot, and a flu vaccination. Overall, you can cut this cost if you refuse the hep A shot (oral-fecal transmission, so more of a threat in 3rd world nation), and there is no vaccination for Hep C so no cost there. It wasn't too bad, though the Hep B shots are split into a series of 3, so give yourself enough time to finish the third before starting school.
 
Hep B was $80 times 3 = $240 ( I will get the 3rd free at school)
TB test was $25
Tetanus was $40 I think
My school said they will give me the meningitis vaccine for free when I get there (It is over $120)
 
I had already taken the HBV vaccine before I started college, but I think it was $60 for each administration. I had a chicken pox antibody titer, which was $60 (I think), Tetanus was $40, TB skin test was $15 (I think), and meningitis, if I had decided to receive it would have been $120. I got these done at my undergrad student health clinic.
